[0025] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0028] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present utility model discloses a mixer, which includes a mixing housing 10, an inlet 14 and an outlet 15 are provided on the mixing housing 10, and a mixing chamber is provided in the mixing housing 10. The mixing chamber is provided with a first chamber section and a second chamber section, and the first chamber section and the second chamber section are distributed up and down.
[0029] Specifically, the inner wall of the first cavity section is provided with a flow guiding surface 11. The water inlet direction of the inlet 14 of the mixing material housing 10 is the same as the tangential direction of the flow guiding surface 11, that is, it can guide the water flow to be introduced into the first cavity section along the tangential direction of the flow guiding surface 11. In addition, at least a first drainage surface 12 and a second drainage surface 13 are provided on the inner wall of the second cavity section, and the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are distributed and connected in the circumferential direction of the second cavity section. The inclination degrees of the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are different, and both the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 can guide the fluid to the outlet 15.
[0030] A plurality of first flow guiding parts 16 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the above-mentioned mixing cavity, and the plurality of first flow guiding parts 16 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the mixing cavity. The first flow guiding part 16 can guide the fluid in the first cavity section to switch from rotational flow to linear flow and be introduced into the second cavity section.
[0031] On the basis of the above structure, when using the mixer of the present utility model for mixing, powdery materials can be put into the mixing cavity, and then the fluid can be introduced into the first cavity section through the inlet 14. Since the water inlet direction of the inlet 14 is consistent with the tangential direction of the flow guiding surface 11 of the first cavity section, the fluid introduced through the inlet 14 is introduced along the tangential direction of the flow guiding surface 11, so that the fluid is introduced in a swirling flow after being introduced, which improves the flow velocity of the fluid introduction and can quickly flush the powder on the flow guiding surface 11 of the first cavity section into the mixture.
[0032] After the fluid in the first cavity section flushes the powder on the flow guiding surface 11 in a swirling flow, if the fluid in the first cavity section enters the second cavity section in a swirling flow, the swirling fluid is not easy to wash in a circular shape and is prone to washing dead corners, resulting in powder residue and insufficient mixing. In this embodiment, the swirling flow in the first cavity section is interrupted by a plurality of first flow guiding parts 16, that is, the rotating fluid in the first cavity section is interrupted and linearly guided into the second cavity section. The fluid entering in a swirling flow can flow directly downward along a straight line direction, forming a water curtain in the second cavity section, flushing all the powder in the second cavity section and guiding it to the outlet 15 position, and the mixing is more sufficient.
[0033] Specifically, since the inclination directions of the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are different, the flow velocities of the fluid flowing through the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are different. The fluid is guided to the outlet 15 position by the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 with a differential speed, and differential mixing occurs at the outlet 15 position, simulating the action of rotating and shaking, so that the mixing is more uniform.
[0034] Furthermore, the first flow guiding part 16 in this embodiment is a flow guiding rib. The flow guiding rib is arranged on the flow guiding rib of the mixing cavity and extends along a straight line direction. In this way, when the fluid in the first cavity section enters the second cavity section and flows through the positions of multiple flow guiding ribs, the multiple flow guiding ribs can interrupt the swirl, and the fluid can flow downward in a straight line state to the second cavity section, so that a water curtain is formed in the second cavity section, the fluid distribution surface is large, and the scouring and mixing effect is good.
[0035] Of course, the above-mentioned first flow guiding part 16 can also be formed by structures such as a flow guiding groove or a flow guiding bump. In short, any structure that can interrupt the fluid and guide the fluid to flow straight downward is acceptable.
[0036] More specifically, one end of the above-mentioned flow guiding rib extends to the bottom end of the flow guiding surface 11, and the other end of the flow guiding rib extends to the first drainage surface 12 or the second drainage surface 13. That is, in this embodiment, the flow guiding rib is arranged such that one end is distributed at the lower end of the flow guiding surface 11 in the first cavity section, and the other end is distributed at the upper ends of the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 in the second cavity section. In this way, by arranging the flow guiding rib at the connection position between the first cavity section and the second cavity section, better drainage can be achieved.
[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the flow guiding rib can also be arranged at the lower end of the flow guiding surface 11 in the first cavity section, or the flow guiding rib can be arranged on the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 in the second cavity section. It can be specifically set according to actual needs.
[0038] Furthermore, a plurality of second flow guiding parts 17 can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outlet 15. The plurality of second flow guiding parts 17 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the outlet 15; the plurality of second flow guiding parts 17 are used to guide the fluid to flow out along a straight line direction. In this way, after the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 guide the fluid to be differentially mixed and then enter the position of the outlet 15, the second flow guiding parts 17 on the inner wall of the outlet 15 can guide the fluid to flow directly downward, preventing the fluid from splashing after mixing at the position of the outlet 15.
[0039] Furthermore, the above-mentioned second flow guiding part 17 is a flow guiding groove, and the flow guiding groove is a flow guiding groove provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outlet 15; the flow guiding groove extends along a straight line direction. In this way, after the fluid enters the position of the outlet 15, the fluid can be guided to flow downward through the flow guiding groove, reducing the situation of splashing.
[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the second flow guiding part 17 can thus be selected as a structure such as a flow guiding rib to achieve, and it can be specifically selected according to actual needs.
[0041] Furthermore, the central axis of the outlet 15 on the mixing housing 10 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the mixing housing 10. After the outlet 15 is arranged on the mixing housing 10, due to the eccentric arrangement of the outlet 15, first diversion surfaces 12 and second diversion surfaces 13 with different slopes can be formed on both sides of the outlet 15, enabling the fluid to reach the position of the outlet 15 at different speeds.
[0042] Furthermore, both the first diversion surface 12 and the second diversion surface 13 are conical surfaces. The taper of the first diversion surface 12 is different from that of the second diversion surface 13, and the bottoms of the first diversion surface 12 and the second diversion surface 13 surround the top of the outlet 15 in the circumferential direction. In this way, diversion surfaces with different slopes can be formed on both sides of the outlet 15, enabling the fluid to be mixed at different speeds.
[0043] Of course, the first diversion surface 12 and the second diversion surface 13 can also be formed by using inclined surface structures with different slopes.
[0044] It should also be noted that, in order to enable the fluid to be mixed at different speeds at the position of the outlet 15, in this embodiment, two first diversion surfaces 12 and second diversion surfaces 13 with different slopes are arranged in the second cavity section to form a differential speed for mixing at two flow rates. In other cases, three or four diversion surfaces can also be arranged, and the diversion surfaces are connected in the circumferential direction of the second cavity section. The slopes of adjacent diversion surfaces are all different. In this way, there are differential speeds for the flow rates on each diversion surface in the second cavity section, and a swinging mixing effect can also be formed.
[0045] Furthermore, the inlet 14 is arranged along the tangent direction of the diversion surface 11. In this way, the fluid introduced from the inlet 14 can be introduced tangentially to the diversion surface 11 to form a swirling flow.
[0046] Furthermore, the above-mentioned diversion surface 11 is a conical surface. After the fluid is introduced, the fluid can flow along the conical surface, which is convenient for forming a swirling flow.
[0047] Embodiment 2
[0048] A beverage maker includes the mixer in Embodiment 1. The mixing housing 10 of the mixer is arranged on the body 20 of the beverage maker. The inlet 14 of the mixing housing 10 is communicated with the water pipeline on the body 20 of the beverage maker, and the mixing housing 10 can be correspondingly penetrated through the powder outlet of the body 20 of the beverage maker.
[0049] In this way, when performing powder beverage mixing, the fluid introduced from the inlet 14 is introduced tangentially along the diversion surface 11, so that the fluid forms a swirling flow after being introduced, increasing the flow rate of the introduced fluid and enabling the powder on the diversion surface 11 in the first cavity section to be quickly flushed into the mixture.
[0050] After the fluid in the first cavity section swirls and flushes the powder on the flow guiding surface 11, if the fluid in the first cavity section swirls into the second cavity section, it is not easy for the swirling fluid to flush in a circular shape, and it is easy to have flushing dead corners, resulting in powder residue and insufficient mixing. In this embodiment, the swirl in the first cavity section is interrupted by a plurality of first flow guiding portions 16, that is, the rotating fluid in the first cavity section is interrupted and guided straight into the second cavity section. The swirling fluid that enters can flow directly downward along a straight line, forming a water curtain in the second cavity section, flushing all the powder in the second cavity section and guiding it to the outlet 15 position, resulting in more sufficient mixing.
[0051] Specifically, since the inclination directions of the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are different, the flow rates of the fluid flowing through the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13 are different. There is a differential speed when the fluid is guided to the outlet 15 position by the first drainage surface 12 and the second drainage surface 13, and differential mixing occurs at the outlet 15 position, simulating the action of rotating and shaking, so that the mixing is more uniform.
[0052] It should also be noted that the other structures of the mixer in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and its structure and effects on the beverage machine are the same as those in Embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated in detail here. The other structures of the beverage machine are all prior arts.
[0053] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present invention are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
